Why I could not sell my 400 FZR-R (4DX)

Hello

In my mind, it was a very simple plan.
1) sell the 1100 gsxr
2) sell the 400 fzr
3) with the money, buy a R6 as a track bike.

the point 1 went very good, it took me less than 2 weeks to sell the 11R .
trouble went with point 2. the bike was fitted with trackday fairing, so all the pictures i had were taken on track, and as in france, almost "nobody" (but me:)) wants to ride a 400 as a trackbike, I did not have any calls in 2 months !!
the bike was just like this:

THen, someone told me, "hey, maybe your crapy track fairing are scaring the buyers, you should put it back in street fairing and relist it".
ok, not a bad idea
So, on a saturday morning, I went to the garage, found (almost) all the parts (i'm still looking for the passenger footrest, should be somewhere), and rebuilded the bike.
After that, I went on a short ride just to take some picture to re-list it :

and, as everybody could guess, when I took the picture, rode the bike on the street, looked at the picture on my computer, I said to myself "don't be stupid, this bike is just so nice, you can't sell it"

tom4, so, I kept it, and bought an old 600fazer as a cheap trackbike :)
